| [Hurriyet] Four members of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have been captured in two separate provinces, the Turkish General Staff has said in a written statement. The general staff said Nov. 25 that two Russian citizens identified to be ISIL members were detained in an operation in the northwestern province of Bursa. Dogan News Agency reported that the Bursa operation was conducted in the Gursu district. In the southeastern province of Kilis, two foreign nationals were captured in the Elbeyli district as they attempted to cross into Syria from ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Nov. 25, the general staff added. The military operations in the eastern provinces of Siirt, Bitlis, Van as well as in the southeastern provinces of Mardin, Diyarbakir and Sanlirurfa, were still ongoing, it added. Turkey has stepped up anti-terror operations against ISIL after the group was implicated in the Oct. 10 Ankara blasts, the twin bombings that killed more than 100 civilians and maimed hundreds of others ahead of a peace demonstration outside a train station in Ankara. More than 1,000 suspects have been detained on suspicion of ISIL links since the beginning of the year. Ankara, however, declared what it described as a "synchronized war on terror" in July, referring to both the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and ISIL. |

| #1 I can believe the "Russian citizens" part but I have my doubts about the "ISIL member" part. That part of the world has elevated the practice of "give a dog a bad name and then hang him" to a fine art. |
